Gu Lixiong: The black box of the F-16 fighter jet has sent out a signal!
A 29-year-old captain pilot Xin Boyi from the Hualien Air Force Base in Taiwan was reported missing after his F-16 fighter jet crashed on the evening of the 6th, and the Taiwanese military and related units have been continuously carrying out search and rescue operations day and night. Regarding this, Gu Lixiong, head of the Taiwan defense department, said during an interview today that the search and rescue operation is still ongoing. During the process of locating the black box, some intermittent signals were detected. Once the sea conditions improve, the ship will go out to perform further actions.
Gu Lixiong stated that so far, the Taiwan Navy and Coast Guard have each dispatched 62 ships, 16 drones, and the Second Operational Area has been continuously searching along the coast from Hualien to Taitung. A total of 1,206 personnel have been mobilized for the search, and the search operation is still ongoing.
Gu Lixiong revealed that professional ships are now being dispatched to locate the black box, and some intermittent signals have been detected, which require further confirmation. However, due to the harsh sea conditions, the ships cannot go out to sea. Once the sea conditions improve, the ships will be able to go out to further confirm the location of the black box, and any progress will be reported to the public.
